The North Carolina Digital Heritage Center’s advisory board includes leaders from professional organizations and institutions representative of the variety of cultural heritage organizations eligible to work with the Digital Heritage Center. The board meets annually and advises Digital Heritage Center staff on policies and services. The board plays an important role in determining priorities for major projects.
Board members representing specific institutions or organizations have standing appointments to the advisory board.
Professional organizations will be represented by the president or other office-holder and will rotate off when their term of office is completed. Rotating board members will be selected by the Digital Heritage Center staff in consultation with the State Library of North Carolina.
